Cluster lights HELP!!

Blazin'low · 05-01-2008, 11:10 PM

OK I just replaced my guage cluster lights with the LEDs. When I first put the cluster back in, one of them didnt light. I figured it was loose so I took the cluster back out to check it. Took the bulb out, made sure it was tight, put it back in, still nothing. So I took the cluster back out and switched two bulbs. The same spot didn't light up, plus now another one didn't light. So I kept trying different things to try and fix it, to no avail. So long story short I'm down to one freakin guage light and no matter how I switch the bulbs its always the same spot that lights. I did some searching and the best I could come up with is that I screwed up the cicuit board? Any help would be amazing, thanks in advance.

turn the bulb 180 degrees, then put it back in.

I don't know, the package said they were non-polarized. Well, I'll try it when I get off work today. It's worth a shot.

Haha funny thing about that is I did it once already. 3 big dents in the passenger door to prove it. Just about broke my hand too. But anyway, I tried turning them around and just like that, they all worked. It surprised the hell outta me cause it said right on the bag they were non-polarized, but oh well, They work! And yeah, I followed the thread, Good stuff!
